Submitted by Maranda Quinn

Write a Somonka from the perspectives of two lovers. A Somonka is made of two Tankas, with the second responding to the first.

A tanka consists of five lines with a syllabic structure of 5-7-5-7-7

The World In Your Hands

If we could hold on

Just one more day my dear

I promise you that

I will give you the whole world,

The grandest of gestures.

And if you gave me

The whole wide world in my palms

I promise to you

That I will preserve your heart

With kind words and gentle love
